Correspondence from Karl Germer to Jane Wolfe
K.J. GERMER 133 West 71 New York, N. Y.
December 4, 1942
Dear Jane,
I wrote you yesterday in reply to yours of Dec. 1 and now I have yours of Dec. 2. Let me point out some inconsistencies.
First you write A.C. giving some magical aspects without realising their import and consequences. Again you tell me in yours of Dec. 1 some events—which only confirm my suspicions—and a day later you fall down again to a place where you wish to avoid their conclusions. Magically, you seem to perceive quite well that there is something wrong and on a lower plane you are afraid that something should be done about it. I know it isn't easy because of the habit-forming surroundings. That's why I suggested to get away completely for a while so that you may become firm in your vision and be yourself again.
The fact that you "don't push ahead. We know it" only proves that there is something basically wrong on the magical side. Smith [Wilfred T. Smith] for years has lived in some subtle delusions which make him incapable of actual progress and proper leadership. The tragic fact is that you all have become under the spell to the extent that you are convinced that Smith is right, or almost right, and whoever wants to interfere is wrong, or has a personal grudge, or doesn't see the facts. Distance usually gives you a truer picture and correct proportions. So, again, get away, completely out of touch from your present surroundings.
I have really said all I have to say. It's now up to you and I am waiting.
And don't console yourself with your conviction on Roy Leffingwell, and others. May-be he did not see certain things the way you did. But in the case of Max [Max Schneider], he positively saw the deeper magical implications; and Roy very probably, though he may not have been able to make this clear to himself and express it properly.
Love,
Karl
